This Day In History: Jeffrey Dahmer was killed in prison on this day in 1994. Known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, Dahmer was a serial killer and sex offender who committed the rape, murder, and dismemberment of 17 men and boys. When interviewed, he said something very interesting. He wanted to set the record straight that he was "not a racist." We live in interesting times when being called a RACIST carries greater stigma than being called a cannibal serial killer.
The media and entertainment love to focus on serial killers like Dahmer, Bundy, Gacy etc., because it furthers their anti-white narrative. In reality though, Whites have never been over-represented among serial killers. For instance, America had the largest number of serial killers in the decade of the 1980s. Whites were 83 percent of the population, yet were only 53 percent of mass murderers. Another demographic was just 11 percent of the population, but they were nearly 37 percent of serial killers. In fact, the most prolific serial killer in America was Samuel Little (not a white man). You've never heard of him for the same reason you've never heard of Billy Chemirmir, Wayne Williams or Carl Eugene Watts...these men don't fit the narrative.
It is evident that serial killers of certain other races are under-reported and under-represented in studies. Furthermore, the media has a tendency to focus on white serial killers and white victims of serial killers. There is a well noted media bias towards treating calamity involving white people as more newsworthy. This helps contribute to the notion that serial killers are overwhelmingly white, whether or not the statistics confirm it.
